The game was called "point 'em out, knock 'em out," and it was as random as it was brutal.
The object: Target an innocent victim for no other reason than they are there, then sucker punch him or her.
But on this day in Lansing, there would be no punch. The teen-age attacker had a stun gun. He did not know his would-be victim was carrying a legally concealed pistol.
The teen lost the game
................
The 17-year-old in gym shorts approached his target. The 28-year-old Lansing man was waiting for his daughter at her school-bus stop at REO Road and Ballard Street.
....The teen had two friends nearby - dropped off by a third friend in a van after they scouted their target. They knew what Marvell Weaver was going to do. They had discussed it.
Weaver approached his victim from behind, a black KL-800 Type Stun Gun in his pocket. It is capable of generating 1.8 million volts.
He passed him and turned back, pressed the stun gun into the victim’s side. Again and again, and … nothing. It had fired earlier when testing it, he would later tell police.
“The button was like stuck down … or something. I don’t know what caused it not to work,” according to a transcript of Weaver’s statement.
‘Please don’t kill me’
The intended victim moved quickly, pulling his stainless steel .40-caliber Smith and Wesson. It had a full 10-bullet magazine, and was worth about $900 police estimated.
He shot Weaver in his buttocks as the teen turned to flee.
“It happened so fast I wasn’t sure. I just know something was shoved into my side. I wasn’t sure if it was a knife, if it was anything,” he told police.
Weaver ran, sat down across the street, his leg going numb, bleeding. Pleading.

Should've shot him again for being such a little whiny bitch. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, @$$hole.
If you shoot someone in the back who is running away, you’ll probably be the one who’s in trouble.
Jurys are funny things. They have a way of not working out the way you expect. Ask the state of Florida which is now on the hook for $300,000 in legal defense fees since losing the Trayvon Martin jury trial.
I kinda like "Native-black Savages".
No one said anything about juries. This is about not having the public pay for his needed medical care while waiting for the trial. The second they arrest him the county picks up the tab!
Imagine walking in to the emergency room to be told your kid was in an accident and a coma fir the past week and was listed as a john doe. the hospital was ready to eat the cost but now they find out your the parent and now you are the responsible party to pay the bill.
None of them have an IQ in the triple digits.
Too bad all of the feral thugs couldn’t be shot dead right then, and save civilians and authorities the bother of having to deal with them later.
Oh knock it off. You can see it on TV, the floor of the NYSE is filled with young people of all skin colors.
You think they "thugged" their way in there and forced Wall Street to give them a job?
It’s not Stunner; It’s STUNER!
Unless you are a cop.
Should've shot him again for being such a little whiny bitch.
Sorry, disagree. Threat's over. Any further shooting by the defender gets him in much trouble. He did the right thing.
“Game Over, Man....Game Over!”
Truth does tend to bring down self priding egotists don’t it :-)
